Unhoused Project
In a collaborative effort, Common Ground partnered with the City of Appleton and Celebrate Diversity Fox Cities to address the growing issue of homelessness in our communities. This initiative was a part of the Fox Valley Speaks project, aimed at creating a safe space for residents to share their perspectives and experiences regarding homelessness.
Creating a Safe Space for Dialogue
The primary objective of this event was to foster open and empathetic conversations about homelessness. By bringing together community members from diverse backgrounds, we aimed to de-stigmatize homelessness and work towards local solutions. Understanding that the first step towards change is listening, we prioritized creating an environment where everyone felt welcome to share their stories and insights.

Participants shared their personal experiences and perspectives, shedding light on the multifaceted nature of homelessness. This collective input is invaluable as we move forward in our efforts to develop effective strategies and policies to address homelessness in the Fox Valley area.
